Gov. Lowry's Message to the Leg
islature is entirely too voIuminous
for Ms to reproduce it. Ho devotes
the major portion Of it to the subject
of Stala finances, and revenues: He
says that if the lawmakers with the
consent of the of the executive have
heretofore been too liberal in the SUP
port of educational and charitable
lnstitations, that this support can be
reduced or In the case of the schnola,
colleges and benevolent Institutions,
entirely withdrawn. The Governor
is strictly in favor Of enforcing the
collection of the poll tax, as the de-
iinquent polls amount 10000 or 5000
dollars per aEnum. He is in favor
OF making failure to pay po!l.tay Il
misdemeanor punishable by fine and
imprisonment, ano. he recommends
m amendment to the Constitution
making the paymeut pf the pUll-tay
condition of the nlght of suffrage.
he calls attention to the fact that the
Judiciary expenses of IS county are
the heaviest, brought about by tie
trial Of misdemeanors and petty Of
fences in the Circuit Court. He is OF
the opinion that the district attorney
should be paid stated salaries and re.
cieye no other fees. This same re-
commen dation was made by the
Governor, two years ago. He EN-.
dorses the present system of leasing
the convicts, and informs the I.egis-
lature that inasmuch as the State has
already leased the penitentiary and
oonvicts to the Gulf and Ship Island
II. II. Co., for term of years. thi.
itact cannot be set aside or cancelled

manhood. He tried to speak. but his
tongue would not move. Half dozen
men who were present were rendered
motionless by the evident visitation OF the
hand of God. When they recovered self.
possession they tenderly moved the
afflicted man to his residence, half-mile
distant. When Miss Rhodv Burklett saw
the plight in which her father was brought
home she screamed and tainted. and died
few days after.
For many years Mr.. Burklett has been
the ferryman at the Hankinsville ROAD
crossing of the Ocmulgee river. He was
of giant physique, with long gray locks,
and became especially noted because OF
the brace OF revolvers which he Kept
strapped to his waist He was a great
hunier and. the ferry being in the midst
of a swamp, he was convenient to an
abundance OF game. From those who
lived around him it is learned that he was
very profane whenever he sighted game
and was called away from it by alarm
from the ferry. He would pour out such
a volley of oaths as would make the flesh
of ordinary men crawl. 1t was in one of
these profane spells that he cursed his
Creator and wound up with the expression
above quoted. The news soon spread
through the country, and scores of peo-
pie called to see the victim. He was at
first completely pros,raled. but subsequent
" was enabled to takes few steps, when
he would fall When spoken to he replies
in an inarticulate humble, and acts in a
most idioiic manner. The physicians can
ascribe no natural cause for his affection,
hut admit that it is a visitation OF God.
The preachers in the neighborhood have
used the incident in their sermons with
great effect.

Preserving the Teeth.
A BIT OF ADVICE WHICH Il WORTH AN

[Chicago Journal
had Il curbstone conversation to-day
with a prominent dentist on State street,
as he stood waiting for Il car. | yentured
TO suggest to him that probably his pro.
iession was not vely much interested in
methods Of preserving the teeth from de-
cay. "On the contrary" he said, 1--WE do
everything we can to teach the people
how to make our services unnecessary.
ParadoXical as it may seem, it is to our
interest to do so; for what little we can
do in that line only educa'es them in to a
greater care for their teeth, and that al

secret Tor preserving your teeth, and dis
penshg with dentists, that is known to our
profession. Go to any establishment
where dental stores are sold and buy three
or four spools of silk floss. and n cake OF
white wax The expenses will be tiftv
cents and they will last you year. Un-
wind two yards of the floss and wax it
we'll, Then double it. twist it and then wax
it again. Keep that in your vest pocket,
and run it between all your teeth every
force and some ingenuity to do it, but it
can be done. and if it makes your gums
bleed at first, all the better. After a
while all the sensi,iveness will leave the
teeth and the gums. and the process
will produce The same refreshing feeling
that washing your face in the morning
does. II you get your teeth once put in
good order. and then use this silk floss
regularly. YOU will never need dentist
again. Tooth picks and tooth brushes
are good to cleanse the face OF tine teeth
and the wider openings between the teeth
but where the dentist makes his money is
between the teeth that are close together

Fifty Years a wife.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher,
WIDOW OF THE GREAT DEPARTED.

Mrs. Beecher, thu devoted wife Of
the late pastor of Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, for half century, was born
at West Sutton, Worcester County,
Mass, in 1912, in q family of English
descent. Her father was doctor OF
medicine, Billiard by name, and be bad
his daughter christened Eu1ice White.
Mr.. Beecher made the acquaintance OF
the young lady when he was student
at Amherst College, and courted her
seven years before Eunice White Bull
lard became his wife. The marriage
took place at the home OF the bllde.
NIr. Beecher was, at the time,
pastor of a church at Lawrence
burg, Ind, his first charge, whore no
had an abundance of work and small
salary. After nearly fifty years, only
last summer, the aged couple enjoyed
together jaunt in Europe, with an
enthusiasm which promised further
long continuance of their union. No
one could have thought, reading Mrs.
Beechers letters ns they appeared in
the pu lie prints, and of the doings Of
her illustrious husband on the other
side Of the Atlantic, that the time of
their final separation was drawing near.
Ten children were born to the couple,
of whom only three sons and one daugh-
ter survive The sons are engaged in
useful secular occupations; the daughter
is minister's wife So far there has
been no evidence that the Beecher
genius has been transmitted. The best
known of the sons is an attorney doing
business in New York City.
Mrs Beechcr is literary woman of
considerable ability. Many of her
sketches, written for fugitive publica-
lions, have been reproduced in book
form. Her Letters from Florida" has
many admirers. ''From Dawn to Day
light contains "reminiscences of Mrs.
Beecher's first years as pastors wife
in the West 1t presents a. stri' ing
contrast, in its revelations of the poverty
and obscurity of the couples early ex-
pe1iences, with the comfort and fame
enjoyed by them in later years.
